Here’s an amusing little anecdote from someone in our community who has hotel-liaison’ed multiple times in the past:
A Swancon hotel contract contained a description of what the hotel would provide for the tea, coffee etc. station. This was supposed to include a tin of Milo.
Due to a typo, the hotel signed a contract in which they agreed to provide us a ton of Milo.
That’s about 907 kilograms — at current prices worth around $10,000.
Sadly, we never collected.
